No poutine In the USA either
Me living in Texas, “Man i would really love some french fries, seems like i have to take a quick trip to canada to get some because apparently Costco is the only company with french fries”
Deep fryers are a pain to maintain. I totally get why they don’t have them at US stores.
But then my hot dog is cold by the time I get there.
There are in fact places to get French fries in the us besides Costco, so I’m not sure traveling to Canada is your best choice here.
As a Canadian I can say Costco fries are really good
Now I’m doubly mad that my wife won’t let us move there. Sigh…
Does she know about Poutine?
you can get a perfectly serviceable poutine at Costco in Canada
Lamentably she does not do pork either. I bear a heavy cross indeed.
You could probably find you a new wife in Canada.
Canada Guy, “They took our wives!”
Probably even one at Costco
Costco sells their Kirkland fries, oil, and probably a deep fryer. You have all the tools you need to get those fries.
They’re supposedly adding chicken strips soon? So maybe they’ll be putting them in.
You can cook those in an oven (sorry to be the downer here)
Yep, their tenders are baked.
I mean, they could bake them. They have ovens. Unless they make the chicken bake and pizzas in something else… 🤔
I don’t think anything other than the pizza is really made fresh in that kitchen; half of it is definitely the same stuff they sell in the store frozen or in the fridge like the chicken bakes and the hotdogs just being reheated.
Also: There is no way FRENCH FRIES COVERED IN CHEESE AND GRAVY would not do well in America. It’s actually kinda crazy poutine isn’t more common here.
The pizzas and chicken bakes go in a conveyor oven that is likely too hot for fries.
Not sure what they are baking the recently-added chicken tenders in.

I think it’s the name. Call it “Eagle’s Nest” or some shit and it’d catch on like wildfire
It’s catching on!
At least here in the south. We love gravy down here anyway, and dipping fries in it has been around for ages. It’s the curds that are entering the equation that’s the new thing, but it’s getting more and more common to find them in stores, and it’s because of poutine
We have fries in Australian Costco’s as well.
And TIL you all get fries. Huh. Are they any good?
All that Costco hot food is so, so overrated. Like okay its a cheap hot dog. The pizza is disgusting. I wouldn’t trust them with a potato
The pizza is disgusting.
To each, their own, I guess. I like their pizza.
Truly, Lemmy is home to a wide variety of takes.
In Canada they’re just normal frozen Cavendish fries. They’re solid.
